You thought Wisconsin was out of control. Our new Governor's plan now:
The governor or his administration can declare any city or school district to be in financial emergency and can then dissolve or disincorporate them and appoint people to be in charge of them. The emergency person can strip the town of union rights unilaterally AND suspend or dismiss elected officials. There are two different versions of this bill .. one in the House, one in the Senate. So we would lose our right to elect local government. In the meantime, he is cutting state funding to cities and school districts drastically, putting them in dire financial straits.
A YouTube video explaining it all, from MSNBC:

This is absolutely unbelievable.
And, in the interest of fairness.. his defense. We have to trust that he will only use these powers in a dire emergency.
